Preparation of Oxysterols by C–H Oxidation of Dibromocholestane with Ru(Bpga) Catalyst

Seven mono- and dihydroxycholesterols were prepared by direct C–H oxidation of the cholestane skeleton with a recently developed Ru(Bpga) catalyst (Ru(Bpga) = [RuCl (bpga) (PPh<sub>3</sub>)] Cl; bpga = 2-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)-<i>N</i>-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)acetamide))....

description Seven mono- and dihydroxycholesterols were prepared by direct C–H oxidation of the cholestane skeleton with a recently developed Ru(Bpga) catalyst (Ru(Bpga) = [RuCl (bpga) (PPh<sub>3</sub>)] Cl; bpga = 2-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)-<i>N</i>-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)acetamide)). Due to the high selectivity of the Ru(Bpga) complex for tertiary C–H, the reaction afforded a mixture of 25-, 20-, 17-, and 14-oxygenated cholesterols that could be easily separated by high-performance liquid chromatography. These results suggest that late-stage C–H oxidation could be a viable strategy for preparing candidate metabolites of biologically important molecules.
